I think we should bring this imagery back into use, I like it much better than all the crap we get now. I may paint my own next year and see how it goes. happy seasonal greetings retronauts. x I think it’s very christmassy…but then as a family we favoured old fashioned style cards…Dickensian images often make me think of christmas even when not at christmas time. the family and friend drinking wine and eating food together in celebration is exactly what christmas is about for most people, particularly non christians.
